Recenzje

'This excellent book provides a comprehensive introduction and reference to modeling of atmospheric chemistry from two of the pioneering authorities in the field. From the historical motivations through to modern-day approaches, the atmospheric physical, chemical and radiative components of the model framework are described. What makes this book particularly relevant and timely is the discussion of the methods for integrating observations and models that are at the forefront of current scientific advancement.' David P. Edwards, National Center for Atmospheric Research
